A WHOLE LOAD of stuff has been happening lately; So much that I don't know where to start....so, I have found a way to resolve the situation. I won't.
However, do not despair. I'll tell you one thing that has been embossed on the surface of my cerebellum:
I HAVE NEW CRANKS FOR MY UNICYCLE!
woohoo...
...AND A NEW SEAT-COVER!
hurrah.
